What I thought was weird about the whole thing is that they separated birds from mammals like as if they were an entirely different mode of life altogether, I mean, didn't some birds require mice and other mammals to feed? Or did we have a repeat of the 70s and have nothing but seagulls? (Horrible joke. XD)

It just kind of eats me that they are separated. Now if it were to resurrect the ocean life, that I can understand, but birds?

hmmm, maybe its because you can "ride" the birds to get to the next part of the game like zue? i mean, a lot of things dont make any sense, e.g. that you gotta resurrect the wind even though a bird gets you to the cave...

Not necessarily.

This could give rise to a whole ugly mess. The egg would have come first only if the chicken hatched from it; if the chicken evolved from a different form of bird, the chicken would have come first, since it wouldn't have been a chicken egg. But that's only if you're asking if the chicken or egg came first, forgetting the other birds.

The egg spawned the other birds, but there were already existing birds at the time; the bird boss you had to fight. Who's to say they didn't lay the egg?

In that possibility, the birds came first. Not a chicken, necessarily, but birds seem to have existed before the eggs they come from.

Wow... cosmic. :crazy:

Another question is:

WTF is with the fishies ô.Ô ... I mean you never have to ressurect em so are they all dead or what? ... But then again where did those come from you fight in the nix tower sidequest? I would really like those Game Designers to kick in and clear the point or get hemselves shot in the ass for missing one of the most basic creatures that ever existed ...

My thoughts exactly. I'd imagine there would be more than a side quest regarding water. Too much cave crawling. Ahh well. I guess the cartridge couldn't fit a lot more chip sets so they cut down on the game design or something. Otherwise It's just the writers. Bah grumble grumble...

Birds also evolved from dinosaurs, so dinosaurs really never went extinct, they just evolved into more feathery and cute forms. :-D
